Surly Monkey Nuts Dropout Spacers
Best dropout solution for cyclists needing extra tire or derailleur clearance.
These simple spacers are the ultimate hack for anyone struggling with tire clearance or derailleur alignment on horizontal dropouts. By pushing your wheel back 14mm, they eliminate the tedious guesswork of manual positioning. You sacrifice a bit of wheelbase length, but you gain the freedom to run bigger tires and modern components without a headache.
